SUMMARY
A lovingly restored original pre-war GPO Van in superb order throughout.
DESCRIPTION
- 'Olivia' is believed to be one of just eight pre-war General Post Office vans surviving today with just six remaining in GPO livery
- Although most of the vehicle was Morris Eight-based, the van with its Minor radiator was known by the GPO as the Minor 35cu.ft
- FGN 202 was purchased by the previous owner as a total project some years ago and sympathetically restored along side its stable mate,FGN 203
- Now fitted with a post-war MM 918cc side-valve engine offering 27.5bhp @ 4,400rpm when new
- Complete with period accessories throughout, including an original document wallet, inspection lamp, a drivers shirt and original handbook
- A rare and very interesting period correct Light Commercial, recently serviced and now running and driving well
- This is a rare opportunity as correctly presented vans of this type are always welcome at country shows, garden fetes etc. but seldom become available on the open market
